Would love to see Greg Stewart in a Hibs shirt.

Like the sound of that...I think Moult in particular would be a very useful signing...here's hoping we're quite far down the road with signing both.

Sun also reporting Moult to the Rangers i suppose if they me tion enough teams one story will be right.

I had to google Greg Stewart. One year in to a three year contract with Birmingham and has scored no goals for them. I surely can't have the right guy if people think he worth spending money on.

Adam Rooney didn't set the heather on fire at Birmingham either. only 4 goals in 18 appearances during his 1 season there and he is one of the best strikers in the SPL just now.

P.s. Transfermarkt also suggests that he played 657 minutes for Birmingham over 21 appearances. Thats an average of 31 minutes a game so hardly the best conditions to get loads of goals from.

Took your advice and looked at his goals on youtube, looked much better then i remembered, nothing stuck in my memory about him, was it just his goals or was it all round performances that got him his move down south.

Have to admit I had to Google Stewart as well, certainly looks like a move away from Birmingham wouldn't do him any harm ... no goals since his move there isn't too impressive even if all his games were off the bench.

I see the Yams are apparently after him too. Is there nobody we are linked with that they don't take an interest in? The big question is of course, where the flook are they getting the money from? A club with a 3 million quid shortfall for their new stand and yet still competing with us and Aberdeen for players ...... now that's a neat trick :hmmm:

take it you don't remember him from his time at Dundee? a very talented player, more of a link up player than an out and out forward, he has a wand of a left foot, I wouldn't rate anyone off the back of a bad season if that was the exception to the rule, Stewart has been there seen it and done it in the Premiership and would be a very useful signing IMO

Just looked at the 2014 Dundee team , played with Boyle, Thomson, Harris and Mcpake. sure they can advise Stewart what side of capital is the place to be if he did not already know. And then the choice between Lennon or the laptop. But those pesky chips might tip the deal against us.

Moult played 34 games in 2016/2017 scoring 18 goals.
2 goals against Celtic, 2 goals against Rangers and 1 goal against Partick Thistle.

2 goals against Annan in the cup.

11 league goals against bottom 6 in the league.

His longest spell without a goal was 6 games, in general it is then 2 and 3 games average without a goal.

The season before 2015/2016 he played 42 games scoring 18 goals

1 against Aberdeen, 2 against Celtic, 1 against Hearts, 2 against St Johnstone - 6 goals against top 6 opposition.

1 goal against East Fife

11 goals against teams in the bottom half of table.

In this season he went two spells of 7 games without a goal.

Just thought id post these stats for those interested. Thoughts?

Thoughts: Good return playing for one of the poorer, less creative sides in the league. 7 goals in 2 seasons against the so called "bigger" clubs.

Definitely, id imagine you have to be pretty clinical playing for Motherwell, probaly going into majority of games knowing you may only get 1 or 2 chances to stick ball away. Haven't personally seen him play as of yet so I don't really know what his style is for those who could help me out? is he quick? good in air? is he more the guy that holds it up? I'd like to know about his general all round game

His goals/games ratio is excellent. I don't know him inside out either, but from what I have seen of him (and having watched a fair number of his goals in Youtube) he scores with a real variety of methods. Some cracking headers, curlers into the top corner and also plenty of poachers goals. His record in the league we will be playing in is very good, so he would seem like an excellent signing if we could get him. Motherwell will be very keen to hang on to him and will feel they can get more money, if they wait for an English club to come in for him, but at 25 he is much more of a late developer than Cummings. At the age Cummings is at now..he had made just 13 starts on loan to a selection of lower league and non league clubs such as Alfreton, Northampton and Nuneaton..scoring 5 goals in the process. Cummings has played 123 games ands scored 69 goals.

The guys on the Steelmen Forum seem to have accepted that he will be leaving them this summer, it just depends who comes in for him.

I would take Boyce ahead of Moult or Stewart but I think realistically we are not going to be able to afford him when you add in a hefty transfer fee and wages to match.

Just a real shame our league cannot generate the tv incomes as a club of our size not to be able to sign a player at say £1m when there are clubs down south whom lets be honest are pish can spend that.

What is the last decent fee we paid for a player? We don't pay much for players. Nominal fees. Fees decided by tribunal (Not generally excessive). 125k for McGinn?

What people think we can afford and what the club will spend are two different things.

We won't meet the valuation for Boyce.

When was the last time we spent £500k + on 1 player? We have been operating on a premiership budget for 3 years in the championship. We dont have the budget to spend that kind of money...simple. If we could afford the fee how do we sustain the wages? We couldn't. We dont have endless amounts of money. We will get 7 figures from JC. Half of that to Farmer. I believe its £4mil still to go and £½mil a year. Ambrose Swanson and Whittaker will all be on big bucks. Say £7500 (guessing) between them then thats almost £400k (including bonus/appearance) that leaves £100k. We simply dont have the cash to spend on a £500k fee then pay £5k a week on wages. I say 5k as thats what a Burton Albion would pay

Who knows it's £500,000 it could be a percentage of that and a percentage of any future sell on fee!

We do have the budget

Increased attendances
Record ST sales
Money for Transfer from Jason!

Remember we pay STF £500000 a year interest free! I would suggest that that is paid over the season and not in one go!

Again you are guessing what players are on and what other teams pay!!!

I believe a deal for Boyce is doable and would be within budget!

I don't think we can. Not a fee out with our normal spending. Any increase in income will go on improving quality throughout the squad. Low signing on fees and player wages. Anything over 200k is fanciful and unlikely.

We probably could stretch the cash to bring Boyce in but it's the kind of thing the Maroon twats down the road do. Player doesn't deliver, we lose a **** load of cash we can't really afford to lose, and the next things, we're raiding the poppy jar.

I'm sure the James Collins fee was 200,000 focus points, not pounds. Still too much!

Mibbes airmiles as he was always 200,000 miles away from the bloody ball!!! ;-)

Is the person concerned an ex Hibs player?

Would be great if we could get a deal over the line for one, or both.

The signing of Moult would go a long way to settling the nerves with JC leaving. Massive void needs filled up top

The only time i can remember us spending in excess of 500k was de la cruz at about 750k and im pretty sure that is our most expensive signing in our history ..

Agree but even if we don't I think we will see a good front line this season.

We didn't pay £750k for DLC, the entire package, including wages was £750K.

No, as said before it was about £400K.

In any case, there's no point lookng at deals that were made pre-Bosman as players (unless they were freed by their club) had a sell on value even when their contracts were finished.

I think a waitor might be the person who waits, or is that a waitee? 😉

Neither of those deals were pre Bosman.

McGinlay rejoined Hibs in 94. 'Bosman' was 95.

Ah.If you are a product of the current Scottish education system everything is clear and you are forgiven.I thought waitor might be a code that old codgers were not in the know about.

The truth is...years ago i signed up on another board and used "flyingwaiter". It wouldnt let me register so i used "flyingwaitor" and it did! Its just kind of stuck now. I wish it was more exciting

Hibs average attendances last season were 3 times that of Burton Albion (Pub team) and they are almost a stick on for relegation this season.
Yet they may be able to outbid us for a player we need. Bah!
Burton, nae fans, worse ground than the yam. No real crowds, decent end to the season to escape relegation. On the positive side the Sky subscriptions a lot of Scotland pay for means they can do stuff like this.

Birmingham boss Harry Redknapp has told a trio of Scottish clubs - Aberdeen, Dundee and Motherwell - that they can't afford Greg Stewart.

No mention of Hibs. Never knew Dundee and Motherwell were interested. Only ourselves, Aberdeen & Hearts.

The reverse of that of course is that they are a well run club and get to train at St Georges park.

Agreed. Poor effort to make my point about Sky. Burton aren't particularly great (I've been twice). Shed of a new build stadium holds about 7000. Yam style glass wall I think.

Tell you what I'll substitute Peterborough United instead[emoji6]
